Hey Juliette, what's wrong? I've done all my crying for the week. it sucks. you saw it in that live journal of mine. I snapped. what's going on with you? email me: tazpunkrocker@yahoo.com if you want to talk.

Isn't it funny how attached we become to a certain hairstyle? I recently lost my best friend to cancer. Her main concern when going through chemo was that she would lose her hair. When the time came to shave her head, she was actually smokin hot so she decided to not wear a wig after all.

My hair grows at an enormous speed. Since I never know what to do with it. I just grow it because I got tired of having to cut it every other month. Now I only cut it once a year, have 10" in length or more cut off and mail the hair to "Locks of Love" which makes wigs for cancer patients. They need at least 10" of hair to donate. This year I cut off 14" and went into shock as I had not had my hair that short in a long time. It took about a week to adjust, but now I really like it. Three months have passed and it really looks good. Hair is just hair, it will grow back eventually. Be thankful that you get to keep yours. Instead of fighting your hair to look like it used to, embrace it as something new & different. If it means using 40 clippys to pin everything down then do it. My best advice is: Be creative, try something new instead of trying to get it to look the way it used to. It will help your self esteem and keep you from going batty!

Final note: You never look as bad as you think to other people, we are our own worst critic.

She was an awesome lady and an awesome friend. She is also one of the reasons I came to this website in the first place. She had a great sense of humor, we often watched videos while she was going through all of her treatments as laughter is the best medicine. Most of the videos we watched over and over were Jim's. The great thing about having those moments watching his films with her is when I see the films now, I remember the time I had with her. Kind of like when you hear an old song on the radio it brings up memories. For a brief moment I get her back. I hope Jim realizes the power of joy he brings to people in dire situations. Movies are the great escape. One line out of "The Cable Guy" and I'm on the floor laughing.
